The problem with Heroes
Season 1 was good. Season 2 nearly jumped the shark. Season 3 is getting back its mojo, but it also starts to annoy me because of several flaws. Heroes is still highly entertaining but i feel it is quickly spiraling out of control. The main reason for this is 1) NOBODY EVER DIES. Even if they do die, they get clones (nikki) or get resurrected from magical blood. This really robs it of any dramatic tension. 2) The cast is expanding and expanding. Every season they add more and more characters. This is related to point 1. Unless they kill off the weaker characters, the series is just bursting with too many characters and subplots, not all of which is compelling. 3) Characters who conveniently change sides. Seriously, Sylar was a badass in season 1. Now you have made him a wimpy goody two shoes. 4) Time Travel. There is more than enough for you to handle in the present timeline. You do not need to do all the time travelling gimmicks. Time travel should be used sparingly. Having Characters go back and forth in time every few episodes is too gimmicky.
